Day 1 morning subway canvass! Couldn't have asked for a better spring day to hit the pavement and a chat with some St. Paul's residents starting their morning! ☀️

Conservative Party

Those regulatory changes are mandatory reporting when someone is hospitalised by these “natural health products,” which is eminently reasonable.

The Leader of the Conservative Party refused to denounce white extremism, and when he was called out, he decided to have a temper tantrum.

At a time when racism and hate are rising, it is extremely concerning that Pierre Pollievre remains silent. Pierre, will you condemn white extremists?

BREAKING: MTO reveals 1 km of #Hwy413 will cost ~$444 million, not to mention the #greenbelt and farmland incursions. Meanwhile other countries are investing in hi-speed rail/public transportation...

Getting pretty clear to me that the appalling treatment of @gregfergus is motivated by more than just politics.

#JustTransition

Today, families in Milton have the opportunity to elect an MPP who will fight for smaller class sizes, better healthcare, and their local priorities.

With Galen Naidoo Harris at Queen's Park, Milton families will have a strong champion on their side.

“I’ve actually been in touch with the Premier of BC about this truly pressing issue…We are working together to support public health and public safety. What we’re not doing is fundraising off of the pain, suffering, and death of Canadians” (Chrystia Freeland). #QP

We now live in an era where we are led to believe that governments should be making policy choices based on polling data. Data that is derived by asking every day people their opinion on subjects they have no experience in nor the context for.

What could possibly go wrong?

My book is printed and has arrived at the publisher's office! Though the publication date is May 21, there's a good chance that people who have pre-ordered it will be able to binge read Crosses in the Sky on the long weekend!

Man steals booze from LCBO, drives off.
Police chase at speed on local streets then onto 401 as suspect enters wrong way.
Police persist at ultra-high speeds wrong way along 401 for more than 20 km instead of getting roadblock set up.
Piffleswipe blames Trudeau for fatal crash.🙄

“Hello.”
“Hi, Donald, Pierre here. Hoping for more advice. Your suggestion about calling Trudeau a whacko worked perfectly in the House. Thanks for that.
Wondering now, how I can go about getting cited for contempt of court 13 times. Any thoughts?”
“Well, little guy …”

We're still remembering this . Right?

Remember how you felt, two years ago today, when the news came out that the Supreme Court would overturn Roe and set back women’s rights by generations?

The man responsible is on the ballot again in November.

Vote accordingly.

The Media spends lots of time keeping their mouths shut about Poilievre’s far right politics and connections. Then Poilievre goes off half cocked, perhaps drunk/stoned, visits a white supremacist encampment and now the media is scrambling to find a way to defend him. Funny stuff.

On the bus to Hamilton passing Ontario Place, a demolition site, cranes, back hoes, other big machines I don’t know the names for. This makes me incredibly sad. This city’s history & cultural identity is being erased here, there, everywhere.
